“I’m not a fan of books”

From the New Yorker:

I am not a fan of books. I would never want a book’s autograph. I am a proud non-reader of books. I like to get information from doing stuff like actually talking to people and living real life.
—Kanye West, promoting his book “Thank You and You’re Welcome.”

I think I’ll help him out and not buy his.

    “get information from doing stuff”

    I want to learn how to do that.

    How is your son?

    I don’t think Mr. West has been especially successful at that based on some of the stuff I’ve heard about him!

    Joe was released from the hospital ahead of schedule. I need to go call him :D Thanks for asking.

    That reminds me of what Doug said on King of Queens: “Books are so overrated! Why have books when you have television?”

    TC, apparently he just likes talking so much that he doesn’t care what combos of words he says.
